“Amazing food, friendly staff, great atmosphere. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our stop here!“

“I discovered Top of the Marq in June when a friend took us there. I have been back several times including my birthday 4 weeks ago. I really like this place especially for the atmosphere. The food jd excellent. Last time I had the 16 oz garlic ribeye steak. I took half of it home.“

“This place has terrific Margaritas and super food. IMHO, the best Mexican food in St Louis since El Maguey(by Ted Drewe's closed). The nachos with queso and a Margarita and the guacamole made at your table are real standouts. Once you do the made at your table guacamole, you will never settle for that dog slip in the bowl EVER AGAIN.“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE the service and food!“

“1st time here. Got sat right away. Beautiful old building. Took the server a few mins to greet us. Got drinks. Waited a while for her to come back to take our order. Ordered all our food, appetizers and entrees. Dirty fries were good, but fries were cold. Server never came to check on how appetizers were til we were pretty much done. Ordered the hot honey smash burger..once again fries were cold, never seen server to tell her. Burger was so greasy that the bottom bun was soaked. Couldn’t eat the bun because of the grease. Pretty bland entree. No LTPO was provided or asked about. Would have made it a bit better. Mac n cheese my friend ordered was gritty and had zero flavor. Overall just an ok spot.“

My mom and aunt went on to say this was the best experience they've ever had and my sister and I knew it would hit it out of the ballpark for them! the owners, the chef, the service providers and the family are top tier excellence.

“Pretty decent food..but when this place charges as much as it does.. the cook should know when the grill is getting low of steak and keep plenty on the grill..when we got there it was all gone and he was just then reloading the grill..I've ran a kitchen before and this is a big drop in my confidence of who is in charge back there.“

“The best IHOP!! Great food, the friendliest waitress with exceptional service, food served promptly, and extremely clean!!!“
